I loved how the next morning after the drunken sex scene in S1, Sek's only complaint was soreness due to how monster-hung Tak was - "Are you even human?" and then he basically just left without all the usual agonizing. I think new Sek is cuter, and a better actor, but I agree - I liked old Sek better. He was more my type.

That sounds 100% correct - thanks for putting it all together for me. I'd forgotten about that first conversation you referenced.

"I'll just go the field and let a cow headbutt me to death." Even my mother is no match for this guy in guilt-tripping. Normally jealousy plots really get on my nerves, but this is basically a 1980s sitcom, so it's hard to be bothered.

If the misunderstanding with Ball had happened in 1,000 Stars, I would be ranting and raving at how they ruined something special with silly writing like that.

Here, I call it Monday. Disappointingly standard BL trope, but whatever, this is light entertainment. Teng looks better this season. Maybe he has a better haircut or something. Ko doesn't look better. Because that's not possible.

I'm a little at a loss to understand why a woman oggling your bf gets you that bent out of shape - I would think it's funny, but also be proud that I have a hot bf.

Also, why is the teacher younger than the students? That "mustache" isn't fooling anyone.

I've only noticed one cast change so far. Or do you mean the characters that are gone, like Tak's henchmen?

I went back to look - I was about to reply again. I mixed up the sequence - you're right. My only disagreement is that I don't think he was angry about the potion not working, he was hurt that Teng's song was to ask that girl to be with him - he explicitly says that, and to his friends, and that's the way they reported it to Teng as well. Ko shouldn't have ghosted Teng, but it's not very easy to say "I need space because I'm in love with you and you just got a gf and it hurts." They're also high school students, not adults - I think the way he behaved was more realistic than inviting to to coffee to talk about their feelings. It's not mature, but I think it's a bit much to say that he doesn't deserve happiness because of it - are you saying people that have flaws or make mistakes should suffer alone?

In the sex scene, Teng was not drunk, and he should not have gone along with it - he's the one cheating. It doesn't matter if the friends called him hoping that would happen - he's still in relationship, and he's still responsibile for his own actions, and he said he couldn't be with Ko, so there's really no excuse for him having done that. Are you saying that Teng could not have stopped it? He's larger and was sober - he didn't even say "no" or push Ko away. How is that Ko forcing him?

I hadn't even thought of that. I feel like the two teachers have been in the same scene together, but I don't know if I'm remembering it correctly. I'll have to go back and check.

Yong Jie did say that part of his plan was to assume blame for the situation to make it more palatable for their father, and he's definitely cast himself in a fairly negative light, I'd say, so mission accomplished on that regard. He seems to have thought everything through, but I'm not sure anyone else would have come to the same conclusions. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I totally get what you're saying - but it's not the skinship I'm lookin for- half of real BLs don't have any either. I agree it's the emotional connection that's what is important, but overtly denying it's anything but friendship is queerbaiting, which is essentially a marketing technique that exploits the desire for m/m romance while still denying our existence. It's throwing a bone to starving dog and smirking that you didn't actually have to give it food.

It just happened - he hasn't had any time to process it, and Li Cheng seemed to feel guilty that he an erotic dream about it. What do you feel was romanticized? I thought the whole thing was portrayed as rather disturbing. I'm not criticizing, I just want to understand.

LOL, yes, you're asking for too much. BL fans but football fans to shame when it comes to how far they're willing to go.

Got it. Thai humor is really slapstick and doesn't really do much for me in general, so I get what you're saying.

I'm kind of confused by this. The shaman was a fraud and the potion had nothing to do with anything. It's of course wrong that he even thought of doing something like that, because he thought it might work. But he wasn't angry, he was heartbroken, and then Teng had sex with him and made it worse - why wouldn't he be upset at Teng for that? Teng is the one who did something wrong in the end - he cheated on his gf and gave Ko hope again. How is cheating on your gf not something wrong? I can't understand what Ko did wrong that you're so upset about.

Almost all of ep 3 is about people making soup.

I'm finding this unwatchable. First, there is a LOT of bullying, and second, there's a long conversation between two characters that is entirely by text, which is dull even when you know what's being said, and dull plus frustrating when it's not subtitled. There is really nothing interesting about this so far - all it is is people sitting around in classrooms lecturing each other about studying more, or studying too much, and people bullying others for no reason that we're really given.

Can someone please start writing screenplays for the visual medium instead of adapting novels? You can always adapt the screenplay into a novel if you want. But what works for a novel does not always work on the screen. This is so boring it's hard to believe anyone thought this was a good idea.

On a petty note, the tall boy's hair is so bad it distracts me from paying attention to the incredibly long scenes where people are just sitting around talking about uninteresting things, as if it weren't hard enough to pay attention in the first place.

And then there's another long fujoshi scene. I actually think they're worse than bullies, treating gay romance like it's there for their entertainment.

And now another scene if people sitting at a table talking about schoolwork. Now, not joking, 35 seconds of someone sitting and staring at a basketball. This is actually the worst BL I've ever seen. At least So Much In Love was such an OTT trainwreck that it was fun to watch. This is like watching paint dry while you're having teeth extracted.

What a waste of good actors. Good and cute, too. BL is falling to a rut of endless, formulaic cliches and a fixed and small bag of tired tropes. At least there were no accidental kisses. So far.

Lately that trope seems to have declined, THANK GOD. Now we just need to get rid of squeeling fujoshis that have no respect for privacy and exploit the feelings of people for their own titilation. Not exactly incarnated devils - more like incarnated imps.

One of them - If YJ becomes convinced he can never have XS, I think he'd do something drastic. and that scene this week could be foreshadowing. I kind of doubt that, because this series is about where blurred lines are and I think the resolution of the storyline will be about what's best for YJ (hopefully serious treatment, maybe to the point of institutionalization) and XS both.

I suspect dad knows about XS already too and doesn't care, but we'll see.

That's fairly amazing logic on mom & YJ's part if you're right, and I have no reason to doubt you're right. "Dad will freak out that XS is gay, so if we can just show him that his brother is f@#$ing him, he'll be so much more comfortable with it!"

Thanks! The guy playing Kim is really attractive.

What I got from that is that you don't think it'sthink it completely fails to be funny at all and you don't like YYY. Is that what you meant? I'm not criticising, just asking because I'm not sure I understood you correctly.
